Practice overview
My name is Amelia and I have spent the better part of the last decade working as a recruiter in tech. It was there that I fell in love with walking alongside individuals as they make emotionally charged decisions that impact not just themselves, but their families. It was a field that allowed me to listen first and respond with empathy and resources to help them advocate for themselves. I have always been inspired by sacred transformation in pregnancy and birth and it's long been my desire to embolden people in this stage of life. After birthing two daughters of my own, it dawned on me that I can marry my passion for connection, affirming support and advocacy with birth. Thank you for taking the time to consider inviting me to be a part of your birth team. I hope that I can hear more about your wildest dreams for your birth, provide you with continuous support, and bear witness to you stepping into your power.

While planning a natural birth with my first child, having a doula was something I wanted, but wasn’t exactly sure what that support would look like or feel like. The moment I met Amelia, I knew she was the perfect fit for my family. Her energy was calm, assertive, and empowering. I felt confident knowing she would be by my side through this journey. She exceeded all my expectations. Amelia was always just a phone call or text away. Prior to my labor, she was incredibly resourceful; she provided videos, exercises, circuits, stretches, and positions I could practice to help prepare my body for labor. She took the time to explain to me what, how, and why everything she shared would benefit my body and birth experience. Amelia listened without judgement and helped me plan the birth I wanted. I labored for much longer than I had ever imagined and she was by my side the entire time. Amelia would be a gift to any woman’s birth story, I will forever tear up when I think about my own story and the strength and love she brought to me and my family.

March 17, 2023 at 3:38 am | Client reviewMy husband and I initially had a virtual interview with Amelia and felt so at ease with her from the very beginning that we knew we wanted her to be a part of our birth story. One week later, we had arranged for her to come to our home to meet in person and make preparations. Needless to say, my original plan and hopes were thrown into a tailspin when my blood pressure was too high at my birth center appointment that morning and I was sent to the hospital for further tests which ultimately led to the decision to induce. Amelia didn’t hesitate. Her texts and calls while I waited to be induced later that night put my heart at ease knowing that she was ready to jump right in when we needed her and that we would tackle whatever challenges came. Our first time meeting Amelia face to face, I was already in early labor,and within moments of entering the room, she was providing counter pressure and pulling out all the tricks from her seemingly bottomless bag. Amelia was then with us for the next 30 hours, through countless physical and mental curveballs, and helped us weather them all until our sweet boy was born via c-section.
